What is the ruling when one person claims ownership of a house currently in another person's possession, and both present evidence supporting their claims?

Primary text

The house belongs to the claimant of ownership without known dispute. This is because there is no contradiction between the two claims or the two pieces of evidence, as the house can be the claimant's property while simultaneously being in the possession of the other party.
